[An analysis of the organizational climate found in the nursing workplace through interviews with recently-hired new graduate nurses].
OBJECTIVE
Nurses often talk about the need for autonomy and independence in their work. However, little is written about the organizational climate of their workplace. What is the workplace like? Does it support nursing autonomy and independence? The purpose of this study is to analyze the organizational climate of the nurses' workplace through interviews with recently-hired, new graduate nurses who have been with the organization for three to six months.


METHODS
Interviewed were conducted with 34 recently-hired, new graduate nurses, three to six months from the date they joined the organization. At the beginning of the interview with each of them, I requested that they speak openly in describing their workplace. Each interview was tape-recorded and the content was analyzed.


RESULTS
I interviewed 34 recently-hired, new graduate nurses. Each interview lasted one hour. During this time, pre-determined questions were presented to each nurse. They responded to the questions by describing their impressions of their workplace. Their responses were divided into three groups and analyzed according to communication patterns, interpersonal relationships, organizational support and responsiveness, and organizational culture.
